Nope. Lots of experts on CIS and most don't watch the film. Memnon, Lance R, Gogeta, and Coach Macho are the major exceptions. But I agree with you and Memnons assessment of Nickel being the best hs qb Mario has ever recruited at any school.

It doesn't matter to a contrarian. Bring whatever expert; factual evidence; or anything else you want, the contrarian will either minimize, downplay, or outright ignore it all. CIS (and society as a whole) is riddled with them and they make the board unbearable at times. They're more fans of themselves than anything else. But such is life.

I don’t want to hate on Emory anymore here to talk about Nickel but Nickels soph film was better by miles than anything I saw from Emory. Even back then I was all in on him so I’m biased and not getting off the hype train any time soon 😂

Nickel is gonna be good. But what are the records of teams that have started a true freshman in the P4 or P5 in the past?

Have any won 10+ games excluding the generational talents like Trevor Lawrence?

Even Lawrence didn’t start game 1. I dont think he actually started until like game 4 when he was splitting snaps with Kelly Bryant
 
Just remember when thinking about Emory and Nickel battling for QB1 this is schedule:

2 preseason Top 10 ish teams, 5 top 25 teams. Then look at opposing QBs.


Notre Dame
Florida-Lagway
@SMU-Jennings
@FSU-Castellanos
@VT-Drones
Louisville-Moss
N.C. State-Bailey
USF-Brown
Syracuse-McCord
Bethune Cookman
@Pitt-Holstein
Stanford

Yeah there was the big controversy when Dabo made the switch

People similar to Uncle Luke had A LOT to say

And I’m a big a Nickel fan as anyone but if we have to start him this year the season is a lost cause for the playoffs but also couldn’t disagree more with the people saying we should start Emory against ND so we don’t “ruin” Nickel. That’s crap.

Hopefully though we don’t have to choose between those options

I don’t think we will fwiw

He is seeking a waiver for an additional year of eligibility that seems to be based on the fact that he appeared in a fifth game for OSU to relieve Stroud in a blowout. The waiver was denied and he is appealing. Syracuse is expecting an answer this week. I doubt McCord will get the waiver because this is basically the same circumstances that Taulia Tagovailoa sought a waiver for and he was denied.

He is way better. I'm not expecting Nickel to be our savior by any means next fall but it's not out of realm of possibility he's a competent qb as a freshman, but here on CIS there's no difference between him & Emory and the sky is falling. The truth is usually somewhere in the middle.

I think we will bring in someone. It won’t be Nickel or Emory against ND and that’s probably a very good thing
